Post Game Quotes: Mets Beat Marlins in Jose Reyes' Return
As Jose Reyes returns to New York in front of an enthusiastic crowd of seventeen people (at least it seemed that way even to us loyal Met fans), the Mets continued to show why 2012 will be different. Coming off an awful doubleheader sweep and Bay and Pelfrey heading to DL, Mets needed a win in the worst way. Facing nemesis Josh Johnson and the return of Reyes would have spelled disaster in the past. Instead, Mets won on great pitching from Johan, Rausch and Francisco. On top of that they had some good defense and a clutch hit from Duda. All good stuff that I have not seen in recent years. You have to remain hopeful and enthusiastic about the 2012 New York Mets
Here are some post game Mets/Marlins quotes:
"I play for another team now. As I said, no hard feelings to no one."
--Jose Reyes, on coming back to Citi Field
"I've never seen anyone in the game bring that enthusiasm to the game. If I had to pay to watch someone play, I'd pay to watch this kid."
--Ozzie Guillen, on Jose Reyes
"That's what your big pitcher does. They stop stuff. They stop losing streaks."
--Terry Collins, on the great pitching of Johan Santana
"I think we had the right plan. It didn't work. They just couldn't throw strikes."
--Ozzie Guillen, on four Marlins pitchers walking four consecutive Met batters
"The way he plays the game, the decision is simple because he plays the game hard, but I don't have that decision. You have to take it up with the owner of the New York Mets."
--Jose Reyes, asked if the Mets should sign David Wright to a long term contract
